Weebit Nano is now a public company trading in the ASX

Israel-based RRAM developer Weebit Nano has made its debut on the Australian share market, trading under the ticker ASX:WBT, following a reverse merger with a mining company shell called Radar Iron Ltd.

As part of the share floating, Weebit raised $5 million AUD, and the company reportedly aims to raise a further $10 million AUD in the coming weeks. The company's shares started the day at 5 cents but ended it on 4 cents putting the market cap at $13.4 million AUD.

Weebit, based in Israel, is commercializing technology originally developed at Rice University.

The company expects to show a commercially viable product within 18 months, and hopes to get its products on the market by 2020.
